After The Battle #175 'Matildas On Crete' (2017)
For nearly 50 years, After the Battle has been presenting the history of the world's conflicts through 'then and now' comparison photographs. From the Zulu wars, through the First and Second World Wars; to the Falklands, all are researched on the actual battlefield to show how they appear today.
Our quarterly magazine concentrates on the Second World War, the comparison photographs adding a new dimension to recent history. As well as major battles, local actions are explored and other features include the recovery of aircraft and vehicles on land and sea, the making of war films and the preservation of military artefacts.
THE BATTLE FOR METZ - In the autumn of 1944, the US Third Army fought a series of difficult and costly battles for Metz, the capital of the Lorraine region in north-eastern France. Jean Paul Pallud takes us through this absorbing story. Hirohito's Underground Headquarters - David Mitchelhill-Green takes a look at the subterranean tunnel systems at the remote town of Matsushiro which was intended to serve as residence for Emperor Hirohito and his wife as well as a Japanese central command post. Fires Were Started - Trevor Popple looks at this wartime film about the Auxiliary Fire Service which was filmed using real members of the Fire Brigade.
